Any one of those soft synths retails for as much or more than the MiniLab. To better illustrate what a good deal this is, with the MiniLab Analog Lab combo, you have access to no less than 5000 sounds from the full versions of Arturia's Mini V and Modular V CS-80V Prophet 5 and Prophet VS Jupiter 8V Arp 2600V Oberheim SEM V and Wurlitzer V.
The MiniLab has a street price of just $99, which is simply crazy the controller alone would be worth that price, but the bundled software pushes the value of this unit way beyond the asking price and into the territory of "Wow, I better grab this before someone gets wise!" The big surprises here are the price and the depth of the Analog Lab sounds. The MiniLab itself is a two-octave mini-key controller with 16 endless encoders, eight pads (two banks for a total of 16 controls), plus pitchbend and modulation touchstrips in a super- compact form factor which is clearly designed for portability. Honestly, what had me excited about the MiniLab is that it comes bundled with Arturia's Analog Lab software package, which includes a curated collection of sounds from almost all of the best Arturia synths - a "Greatest Hits" of essentials from Arturia's deep library. Not because I needed another USB control surface - frankly, I have a couple of decent MIDI keyboards which have served me well, and I wasn't really in the market for another. So I jumped at the chance to try out their new super-affordable MiniLab hybrid controller. I'm a big fan of Arturia's soft synth collection they have some of the best sounding and well-modeled "vintage" software synthesizers available.
